Pricing
No calculated bill. Reported spend describes other buyers, not a quote for your workload. A public rate card is available, but the minimum annual commitment is unpublished. A total bill requires a quote; EU regions require a contract. How to read these estimates.
No public price; sold through annual contracts. Reported typical spend: $165,375/yr (source in notes).
List rates from the rate card, consumed against a Dynatrace Platform Subscription that requires a minimum annual commitment (amount not published). Infrastructure Monitoring $0.04/host-hour (~$29/month, any host size); Full-Stack (APM) $58/month per 8 GiB host. Logs: ingest & process $0.20/GiB plus retain $0.0007/GiB-day; 30 days = $0.221/GiB = ~$0.206/GB. These are usage rates, not a complete bill: the calculator does not estimate a total without the minimum commitment. Queries are extra ($0.0035/GiB scanned), or use "retain with included queries" at $0.02/GiB-day. Vendr's median contract is $165,375/yr (32 purchases, vendr.com/marketplace/dynatrace, Oct 2026). EU SaaS regions are standard but there is no self-serve purchase. Founded in Austria; HQ Waltham, MA.
